I'm new and looking for...

[pvknitwit]

a template with an "On Broadway" theme. Does anyone have one or know of anyone who has created one? I have searched on this forum and there were not any useful links by way of a template.

And by the way, I'm new to using this program, but I love it. And I really, really appreciate how friendly folks are on the discussion lists. Awesome group you are! (not just saying that to get the Broadway theme, either) -Nan

Hi there, Nan!

I was fooling around with a "Hollywood" theme just by playing with the shapes that come with SBM. Here's a link to my layout:

It was very quickly done and maybe not what you had in mind, but I'd be happy to share it as a template for you to use and modify for your "On Broadway" layout- let me know (and no offense taken if this isn't what you are looking for!!!).

Also, if you like it and just want to use the idea as a starting point (instead of using the template), I found the city-block shape by choosing a paper scrap: then, in the Properties dialog, check Custom shape, and click on Change Shape. Then, go to the "Objects" shape category. Scroll through the category, and you'll find the "photoshape-city" shape ( I attached an image of the shape so you know where to find it!)

This hint is so awesome, Karin! It's easy to forget we have lots of the basic shapes! That cityscape is perfect for any city layout!! Thanks for the reminder!!

Thanks, Julie!

Sometimes I work "backwards" when creating layouts - instead of scrapping with a picture in mind, I look through the shapes for inspiration and base my layout on a cool one that I find, then I find a picture to match. It's all fun!

Hi eng!

I love to pop by and respond to posts when I can! Be assured, we're around even if we aren't posting things all the time ... our "behind the scenes" duties make it a challenge sometimes! But we certainly love it here, too!
